[ The feed opens on a tabletop in a restaurant, where Miyuki sits with what might actually be the world's largest cheeseburger. She's alone, but seems to be in relatively good spirits, especially considering what she says next. ]

Got knocked out in the quarterfinals by Mister Harvey. [ Look, she remembers your name. ] That means you'd better win the tourney, dude. I don't lose to losers.

Oh, and if any of you dudes were gonna get me Christmas presents, I'm gonna need warm clothes. My winter stuff from last year is, like, way too small now. [ This girl just keeps getting taller. ] And I'm gonna be traveling again after Christmas, I think. Maybe.

I kinda wanna get a house, but I'm only eleven? [ Or twelve, but the real estate agencies don't make much of a distinction between the two. ] Who around here has, like, a real house, anyway? Like, how much does it cost, or whatever?

[ She reaches for the 'Gear and picks it up, then stops, brightening. ]

Oh, yeah! I'm thinking about doing Old Man Surge's survival camp thingie. Anyone ever done that? Is it, like, super brutal? I figure a girl's gotta be able to take care of herself, if she's gonna be traveling alone sometimes. Tell me something good, dudes.

[ The feed clicks off on her grin. ]

It's quite kind of you to offer. I assure you that if I find myself taking you up on that, your dishes will sparkle after every meal.

[Not that he really knows how to clean dishes, but he will learn.]

[ Same, Cecil. Same. ]

Sounds like a good deal to me, dude.

...However, I cannot assure you that all members of my team will behave.

[ She rolls her eyes and shakes her head. ]

Mine don't, either. No biggie. They'll probably keep each other busy, anyway.

As long as it's not the harmful sort of busy. Kayne listens to me during battles, but beyond that...

Heh. Maybe they'll want a rematch. If they start fighting, we can send them out to the beach.

...It'd end in a free-for-all melee before long. Mark my words.

Maybe I'd've stood a better chance if the tourney went like that, huh? [ She laughs. ]

Perhaps, unless your team had started to fight amongst themselves. I know a few of mine would be tempted.

They probably would, but there's kind of a — what'd'you call it? — a pecking order? And even though some of the troublemakers are strong enough to beat, like, Godzilla-bro and Axe-bro, they still don't. It's funny. Kinda like how my brother's taller than my dad, but he still listens to him.

Parent-child relationships do often involve that dynamic... But a pecking order help little in my case. Rosie is the acknowledged big sister of the group, but she's also part of one of our biggest rivalries.

Yeah, I think I might be in trouble when Ripper gets strong enough to take on Axe-bro. She's his mom, but I don't think that's gonna stop him. The dude who raised him had attitude problems.

...That doesn't sound very good. Would he attack his father, too?

Maybe, but his dad's a Tyranitar. He's a little bigger than him... and he knows Ice Beam. I don't think the fight would last long.

That's one way to deal with misbehaving children, though not one I'd normally use.

Are you kidding? If I knew Ice Beam, I'd totally use it to keep my kids in line.

Even with the risk of frostbite?

If they were being butts. [ Solemnly. ]

...Well, you still have plenty of years before that becomes an issue...

[Enough years to change her mind, hopefully.]

Yep. I don't even have time for boys right now, dude. I've got more important stuff to do.

Such as? Some would say that nothing is more important than romance, you know.

[ Her nose crinkles. ]

Pokémon training, tennis, food. Basically, like... anything.

...Point taken. Many people simply do not care about it.
